It is important for business managers to know common HVAC terms and their meanings.

• Ventilation: All of the processes of recirculation, filtering and treatment of the air to ensure the air quality and comfort level inside the building.
• Air Conditioning: Devices used to control the temperature, humidity, air flow and cleanliness of the air indoors.
• Heating: Systems used to increase the temperature level indoors.
• Cooling: Systems used to reduce the temperature level indoors.
• VRF: Variable flow evaporative systems.
• Duct: Pipes used to provide air flow in ventilation systems.
• Diffuser: Means that allow the air to be given to the sections from the ventilation channels.
• Fan: Electric motor vehicles used for the circulation of air.
• Filter: Tools that capture dust, pollen and other pollutants in the air in ventilation systems and ensure air purification.
• Humidification: Systems used to increase indoor air humidity.
• Ventilation Control System: Software that provides automatic control of ventilation systems.
• Energy Recovery: Systems that reuse the energy used in ventilation systems.

► Besides Hvac Terms and Meanings, Other Technical Terms Used in the Ventilation (Hvac) Industry

Technical Terms Used in the Ventilation (Hvac) Industry Are:

• BTU (British Thermal Unit): Unit used to measure heating and cooling capacity.
• CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute): A unit measure of the volume of air moved in one minute.
• HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning): A term that refers to heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
• Air Conditioning: The process of controlling the temperature, humidity, air quality and other parameters of a building’s indoor environment.
• Air Handling Unit: The main unit where the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems are controlled.
• Central Ventilation: Using a central ventilation system to control the air quality in a building’s interior environment.
• Air Quality: The quality of the air inside a building in terms of pollution, humidity, temperature and other factors.
• Sensor: Devices used to measure parameters such as temperature, humidity, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide for ventilation systems.
• VAV (Variable Air Volume): A system in ventilation systems in which the air flow is controlled and the air is given to different areas in different volumes.
• Sewage: A pipe system used to transport air through channels in the ventilation system.
• Insulation: Materials used to protect pipes, ducts and devices used in heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems from external temperature effects.
• Air Curtain: Devices used to prevent air flow between indoor and outdoor environment.
• Temperature Control: Devices used to control temperature in heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
• Refrigerant: Chemicals used to lower the temperature in air conditioning systems.
• Dehumidification: Devices used to reduce humidity in humid environments.

  These terms enable those working in the ventilation industry to communicate using a common language and to carry out their work more efficiently.
